We have our first upset in the 2011 Pac-10 Tournament, as Oregon rolled over UCLA 76-59. The No. 7 seeded Ducks took a 14-point halftime lead and led by as many as 22 points on two separate occasions in rolling to the win.
Pac-10 Tournament Bracket Update: Oregon Upsets UCLA In A Blowout
E.J. Singler was incredibly efficient in leading Oregon to the win, scoring 24 points on just nine shots. He hit both of his three-pointers and all eight of his free-throws, which explains the hyper-efficiency. Tyler Honeycutt led UCLA with 19 points, but nobody else on the Bruins scored in double figures.
The Ducks move to 16-16 on the season and will advance to the semifinals, where they will face the winner of the final quarterfinal between No. 3 seed Washington and No. 6 seed Washington State. UCLA falls to 22-10, but will still likely make the NCAA Tournament. They were an 8 seed in our latest bracket projection.
